Can you believe it is halfway through August already! It is an exciting month for THIS IS YOUR BIRTH. The Book is ready for you, and the pre-orders have been sent to their new owners. A new website is underway and the E-Course/support group is coming together nicely. Do you like my new look?

As a subscriber, you should have an invite to join the secret Support Group,if you have not been added, friend me on Facebook and PM me your request, or reply to this email. (PLEASE NOTE: I am no longer on facebook)I have hit a snag in starting the group, as I lost my facebook account (nipple offences), which has left me unable to admin the new group. I have decided I want this group to live off facebook, and am working on a special space. In this space you can ask questions, find out your options, participate in 'live' discussions (possibly even video chats) and gain access to evidence-based information. This space will be ready very soon, and is part of a very exciting development. The Birth Mapping E-Course! Being a 'foundation participant' puts you in a privileged position, so stay tuned for more information!AS PROMISED: CLICK HERE TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF YOUR SPECIAL PRICEThis offer ends August 30th

In late July I 'appeared' on theCircle of Birth Podcasttalking about my first birth. In early August Aly came to hang out at my place, and we talkedabout my second birth.Check out this awesome new collection of podcasts!

In early August I discovered that a popular post from January (below) is appearing without link-backs to TIYB on facebook or my website (or bellabirth.org).

Whilst I am flattered by the popularity of the image (and glad I thought to put my website on it), the uncredited share is not a clean image. If you see this floating around, please direct people to the original on facebook (link also on the image). If you see it on a website, let me know. This image is copyrighted, the artwork belongs to me, it is not a free image to use in this way.

I am also very pleased to hear that when people see the image, they instantly think of me/TIYB/bellabirth.
